 \begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
 
 \begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt

-\item The size that a window had when \helpref{Add()}{wxsizeradd}ed to the sizer was assumed
-      to be its minimal size, and that size would always be used by
-      default when calculating layout size and positions, and the
-      sizer itself would keep track of that minimal size.
-
-\item If the window item was \helpref{Add()}{wxsizeradd}ed with the \windowstyle{wxADJUST\_MINSIZE} flag
-      then when layout was calculated the item's \helpref{GetBestSize}{wxwindowgetbestsize} would be
-      used to reset the minimal size that the sizer used.

 \end{itemize}
 
 \end{itemize}
 

-  The main thrust of the new Sizer changes was to make behaviour like
-  \windowstyle{wxADJUST\_MINSIZE} be the default, and also to push the tracking of
-  the minimal size to the window itself (since it knows its own needs)
-  instead of having the sizer take care of it.  Consequently these
-  changes were made:
+The main thrust of the new sizer changes was to make behaviour like \windowstyle{wxADJUST\_MINSIZE} be the default, and also to push the tracking of the minimal size to the window itself (since it knows its own needs) instead of having the sizer take care of it.  Consequently these changes were made:

 
 \begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
 
 \begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt

-\item The \windowstyle{wxFIXED\_MINSIZE} flag was added to allow for the old
-      behaviour.  When this flag is used the size a window has when
-      \helpref{Add()}{wxsizeradd}ed to the sizer will be treated as its minimal size and it
-      will not be readjusted on each layout.
-
-\item The min size stored in wxWindow and settable with \helpref{SetSizeHints}{wxwindowsetsizehints} or
-      \helpref{SetMinSize}{wxwindowsetminsize} will by default be used by the sizer (if it was set)
-      as the minimal size of the sizer item.  If the minsize was not
-      set (or was only partially set) then the window's best size is
-      fetched and it is used instead of (or blended with) the minsize.
-      \helpref{wxWindow::GetBestFittingSize}{wxwindowgetbestfittingsize} was added to facilitate getting the
-      size to be used by the sizers.
-
-\item The best size of a window is cached so it doesn't need to
-      recalculated on every layout. \helpref{wxWindow::InvalidateBestSize}{wxwindowinvalidatebestsize} was
-      added and should be called (usually just internally in control
-      methods) whenever something is done that would make the best
-      size change.
-
-\item All \helpref{wxControls}{wxcontrol} were changed to set the minsize to what is passed
-      to the constructor or their Create method, and also to set the real
-      size of the control to the blending of the minsize and bestsize.
-      \helpref{wxWindow::SetBestFittingSize}{wxwindowsetbestfittingsize} was added to help with this,
-      although most controls don't need to call it directly because it
-      is called indirectly via the \helpref{SetInitialBestSize}{wxwindowsetinitialbestsize} called in the base
-      classes.

+\item The minimum size stored in wxWindow and settable with \helpref{SetSizeHints}{wxwindowsetsizehints} or \helpref{SetMinSize}{wxwindowsetminsize} will by default be used by the sizer (if it was set) as the minimal size of the sizer item.  If the minsize was not set (or was only partially set) then the window's best size is fetched and it is used instead of (or blended with) the minsize.  \helpref{wxWindow::GetBestFittingSize}{wxwindowgetbestfittingsize} was added to facilitate getting the size to be used by the sizers.
